wow that was pretty inspiring Joey thanks for the post. I am sorry you had to deal with all that at such a young age. I'm 23 and I couldn't imagine having to sell my parents house and deal with all that stuff right now or even anytime soon. I too however have thought about what it would be like to sell the same house I grew up in, since I am the oldest out of three children. I have already envisioned it as being very hard to do and sometimes I almost feel like I could (and should) never sell the house, but like you said it is a benchmark and there are times to move on and this is one of them. More important than the house you grew up in, think of the children you might raise one day and the memories they will gain from that house. You can only hope you give your children the same experience you had growing up.
